Breakfast restaurant
Cafe
La Farm Bakery is a modern-day boulangerie located in downtown Cary, offering a variety of breads, pastries, croissants, cookies, tarts and cakes. The bakery is known for producing 15 different styles of bread using a European-style hearth oven. Founded by master baker Lionel Vatinet and Miss Vatinet in 1999, the bakery aims to honor centuries-old baking traditions without the use of preservatives or artificial ingredients.
In this pastry shop/bakery I want to try everything. The bread looks great, challahs, croissants, cookies, cakes! On a sunday morning there were a little too many people here, but that's understandable. However it did not feel overwhelming - you could find free tables to sit both inside and outside the cafe. We tried the mango cake - very tender and tasty. The cappuccino was wonderful and the morning sandwich was delicious. I will definitely come back to try the croissants and the chocolate pudding cake.

I like coming here, but I feel like it has gone up in price/value. $3.99 for a soft drink is outrageous. The bakery items are so yummy, I next time I will just get a water. Also, the value you get for the breakfast sandwich is not there. I paid over $20 for the food you see in the photo. 🤦‍♂️

From Le Farm to Panera Bread... While going through an interview for a job at Le Farm as a teenager I was asked by the owner back then if I knew what it meant to be "Dynamic". I didn't which made sense as I was 16 and far from what the owner was looking for. The place was booming and the owner certainly knew what he was doing - that and quality was a really high priority... 22 years later I returned to the same location excited to see the changes had occurred over the years. I went with my parents and we ordered an Apple Almond tart, a "brownie", cheesecake, two lattes and a cappuccino. The place did not age well. The apple tart was once frozen and dethawed, with the cake portion being a mash of fat and sugar. No fluffiness, no fresh apples, or light crust. The brownie was essentially a frosting - likely also frozen oder left refrigerated cold. The cheesecake was a bit more redeemable, though basically a lot of sugar. Then there was the coffee. This was probably the most ridiculous coffee experience Ive ever had in my life. After looking at my "cappuccino", I saw it was simply coffee with milk. So I went to the barista and said there must have been a mistake. She said "Oh I made a cortado" 😂 (please Google a Cortado if you're unfamiliar) Then I went back to my table and saw my parents staring at their "lattes" which too were coffee and milk. So I went to the barista and said "I think there was a mistake here too, we ordered two lattes." Her response "Those are lattes." I replied "This is coffee with milk." Then came the best part. She said again "Those are lattes" and the kicker, "If I did them again you will get the same thing". Puzzled and a little entertained I took the "lattes" back. Then after a moment I got my fixed "cappuccino", which was half an inch of super heated, over-frothed milk. I tried it , took some more nibbles of my dethawed Apple Tart and threw both in the trash where it belonged. I can't speak for everything in Le Farm and quality of all its products, but "Jack of all trades and master of none" seems the most fitting here - except the bread! Gotta pay respect where it is due but if you visit the location, stick to the bread - (maybe) sandwiches? - and spare yourself the disappointment of thinking the pastries are authentic or good... Alternatively, every time you have the urge to go there put the money in a jar, save a few years, and fly to France to have a frame of reference to how horrendous the pastries in Le Farm are.

Ohhhh it’s cuteeee! I love it. Very fancy schmancy pants for a little bakery. We got an assortment of treats and I got a coffee, a caramel latte with 2 shots and guess what?! It tastes like the coffee in Seattle! By far the best cup of coffee I’ve had in North Carolina so far. This is a new favorite spot for sure. My only little complaint, for this amount of money, the staff needs to ask if you want any of your items heated up. We ate cookies and a dill scone and a few bites of our blueberry scone, all would have been better heated up. Next time I’ll ask. 3 months later update- still love it! Wish the employees didn't seem like they hate being here...but the coffee is perfect!

This is one of our family’s favorite spots for all things bread and breakfast. We always make a stop here whenever we’re in the area. In the morning, there are usually plenty of tables available, so we’ve never had to wait for a seat. The food always comes out fresh, hot and delicious, with plenty of sweets and savory items to satisfy every craving. We especially loved our breakfast and chocolate eclair, though we did find the coffee eclair a bit disappointing. It dry and tasted like it was not fresh.

I came here as an all-day breakfast lover and really enjoyed the watermelon cucumber mint drink—super refreshing! The cheddar melt on sourdough was lovely, though it could have used a bit more seasoning. The side salad with house dressing was also tasty. I was disappointed not to be able to try the quiche, since the staff couldn’t confirm what type of flour it’s made with but did mention it’s locally sourced. I’m gluten intolerant but can usually have sourdough or certain organic/imported flours, and more clarity would really help those of us with dietary restrictions. I did grab the chocolate almond French tea cakes to try at home so I can monitor any reaction, but it would have been nice to enjoy more options while dining in. The herb spread for the sourdough is only available as a $9.99 full container and not as a side option with a meal—I would have loved to add it to my bread (even as an up charge) without having to purchase the whole thing as I have a two hour ride home. Still, overall I enjoyed the experience and would definitely return.

By far, the highest quality brunch, lunch bakery in NC. Everything, is elevated, nothing is as simple as you may envision because you can take the caliber and care in every dish. It is honestly a treat, it's not just a stop. The prices can seem high on your first visit, but once any of their products touch your tongue you will instantly understand that it's a bargain and worth so so much more.

This is not the first time we have ordered from once in blue moon bakery And many of our other friends have ordered from blue Moon as well, highly recommended!

It was my kids and I first time here and it will not be our last. I got a chocolate chip cookie, my oldest daughter tried red velvet for the fist time in the form of a cupcake, thr youngest daughter had a vanilla cupcake, and my son, who is more of a salty person over sweets, got a triple chocolate brownie and he loved it. The prices are great and you get more than enough for what you paid for. The parking is in a very small shopping center so I recommend parking on the street (free 1 hour parking).

Absolutely fantastic experience all around! I emailed with Leanna about a custom cake order for a BBQ themed birthday for my hubby. She was very responsive and asked all the right questions. It was a fairly quick turnaround time (less than a week) so I kept to just chocolate and vanilla buttercream, and I was flexible on the design, but had a few photos for inspiration. The team at Blue Moon Bakery did an incredible job making a lovely "grill" cake (I added the topper and toy food to finish it off). The grill and flames were all made with buttercream (not fondant!), and I STILL don't know how they got lovely ombre flame effect, but it was GORGEOUS! 🔥🔥🔥 And the taste was fantastic! Perfectly moist with simple but beautiful layers inside. Pickup was quick and easy. Thanks for such a fantastic experience! I'll definitely be back! 😄

Once in a Blue Moon Bakery did such a wonderful job for our wedding! We chose to do a smaller cutting cake and assorted cupcakes and brownies for our desserts and our guests absolutely loved it! Everything was delicious. I couldn’t be happier about our cake . It was exactly what I wanted and they did such an amazing job. Highly recommend them for your wedding!!

Once In A Blue Moon Bakery in Cary is my go-to bakery!! I plan monthly dinners with a group of eleven ladies and we celebrate each other’s birthdays. I always have Once In A Blue Moon Bakery make the birthday cakes, and I always have their cake artist(s) add decor to the top and sides of the cake. They do a PHENOMENAL job each and every time! Attached are a few pics of a cake I just had them make for one of our birthday dinners...just incredible attention to detail...and the cakes are ALWAYS super delicious! Leanna is my go-to person for ordering/designing my cakes...she, and the entire staff, at this bakery are wonderful (a special shout out to Michelle, their lead cake artist)! If you have not tried this bakery, put it on your list, you will not be disappointed!!

Nestled in a barnlike setting, Angus Barn is an upscale steakhouse with a rich history spanning over 50 years. Originally envisioned as a 275-seat steak-and-potatoes restaurant, it has since evolved to accommodate 650 seats and offers an expanded menu featuring seafood, poultry, and pasta. The establishment is renowned for its impressive wine list, warm hospitality, and rustic ambiance.
We had an amazing Mothers Day lunch. We were seated in the Turkey Lounge in under 20 min. Lovely lighting, decorated, and warm atmosphere. The drinks and food were so delicious. Our waiter was kind , helpful and prompt with everything. After we ate , we went by the little store inside and walked around to look at all the historical artifacts. Steak, Steak, Steak! We all had a delicious steak and starter. So delicious!

I've heard about this place from TV and word of mouth. I tried to make a dinner reservation online but the website seemed to block typical dinner hours or their reservation was completely filled up far in advance. In any case, I've decided to try the lounge which opens at 3 and it's first come first serve. This place had great atmosphere. The decoration was unique. Totally southern barnyard feel. We ordered tomahawk ($95) and beef ribs ($40). In many reviews, people complained about their overprices, but considering the crazy inflation of beef prices these days, I thought their price was not unreasonable. However, the taste and quality of steaks were not as good as it looked. The meat was rather tough and bit dry. Unfortunately I cannot give more than 3 stars for that reason. It was a shame. I had a high expectation.

An amazing place!! From the cheese and crackers to the crudités platter to the juicy shrimp cocktail to the scrumptious filet mignon to dessert, the food was delicious! Jake was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. His sense of humor helped us relax and enjoy our meal and family time! The decorations were exceptional! It is a little pricey, but well worth it!

Visited for the first time this past Labor Day weekend. I got the surf and turf which was recommended by the server. The food was good, just slightly overcooked in most of the dishes. Something I normally don't mind, but given the price point it is of mention. I would come back as the environment is enjoyable and we did enjoy the appetizers and such. Thank you.

Came to the angus barn for an event and man I couldn’t believe how good it was. Our event was held in the Wine Cellar, a lot intimate space for <50 people. Plated meal with an awesome Filet with bourbon sauce. Did not have choice of how it was cooked but I didn’t mind. I like a more rare steak and this was medium rare cooked to near perfection. Outstanding service by the team and worth the time to spend. Would consider this environment and service for a small rehearsal dinner or corporate dinner any day of the week. Restored by interest in coming back to dine in main dining room.

We have a fabulous time every time we visit! I recommend coming early so you can enjoy the bar space out front before your reservation. They have complimentary cheese and crackers and it is a fun space to hang out in all weather. I'm vegetarian, but I get plenty to eat here. They have two pasta choices. All of the staff is helpful and nice! The decorations and many dining rooms are so interesting and they are so fun when they are decorated for Christmas!

It was great. Wonderful service, very professional servers who seem trained in fine dining. The vibe is very "fancy farmhouse/cabin/rustic" which is a style choice I generally dislike, however this is cozy and clean and it works well for what it is. The restaurant is huge. We asked and they said they can seat up to 800 people at a time. That's wild. The inside floor has brick and the parking lot isn't smooth, just a heads up for other thin pointy high heel girlies, this isn't the spot to wear stilettos. Dress code is all over, button down and jeans or full suit, either way you'll fit in just fine. I did like that everyone tried to look nice but it's not overly formal unless you're really in the mood for that. The way they present Desserts is interesting, they show you almost all of the options. The service was phenomenal, that was my favorite part.

FRESH. Local Ice Cream is a family-owned ice cream shop with three locations in Cary, Apex, and Raleigh. They offer over 15 signature flavors made from fresh ingredients, including locally sourced milk from free-range cows without artificial hormones or antibiotics. The shop serves its unique ice cream in homemade waffle cones, cake cones, or cups. Operating hours are until 9 PM on Sundays through Thursdays and until 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.
The staff was extremely great, the assortment of flavors was top notch and the amount of seating in accordance with the hot sun makes this one of the best ice cream experiences I've had in North Carolina or everywhere. Will be coming back! Their birth cake cake and butter pecan are great. One scoop is already good but be prepared if you ask for 2 scoops!

FRESH. Local Ice Cream really lives up to its name! I tried the Cookies & Cream non-dairy shake, and it was surprisingly rich and creamy—you’d never guess it was dairy-free. The flavor was spot on, with just the right amount of cookie chunks and sweetness. They have a great variety of flavors (including non-dairy options), and the staff is super friendly and helpful if you’re not sure what to get. You can tell they really care about quality and making everything from scratch. It’s a fun local spot with generous portions and a welcoming vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the mood for a treat
Nook H — Google review
I must share this experience because I was totally disgusted. The two ladies that got their cones right before me had a mix up. They received coffee in both cup and cone instead of coffee and chocolate. I was right next to them at the pick up window when they looked at their ice cream and the younger one said “ no, this is definitely coffee”. The woman got the servers attention who had gone back to making the next order. Her came to the window and the woman explained that this was coffee and not chocolate. She handed him the cone, he took it and dumped the ice cream back into the bucket and proceeded to but the chocolate in the same cone. When they left, I told the guy that what he did was very unsanitary. That he should have thrown the entire cone away because he should not accept anything back from a customer. He said “she didn’t touch it”. I told him he didn’t know that to be true because he wasn’t watching her once he gave her the order. He just looked at me and didn’t say anything. I’m glad that you can see them fix your order but I’ll never go there again. They need more training. I know that probably happens more than we know but to see it hits differently. I eat out VERY rarely for this reason. I know this is a small business and I hope the owners read this and do more training.

Delicious! The service was quick and they let you taste test a few flavors. Lots of outdoor seating under a shade canopy which was very nice. Plus added bonus of an air conditioned bathroom to use! We got the lemon blueberry sorbet which was incredible. The waffle cone was a little stale, that’s my only complaint.

Oh man, this is 💯 the greatest ice cream in Raleigh. The butter pecan is the best I’ve ever had. The kids love the cookies and cream. We like to try the seasonal flavors too. There’s a nice outdoor area with some games and tables (no indoor seating). Customer service is outstanding!

You can taste the difference between Fresh and other ice cream shops. It’s creamier and you can taste each flavor. My wife likes to combine two different flavors. My favorite is the blueberry and she likes butter pecan and whatever else tickles her fancy at the time. I’m not a butter pecan fan but I must say theirs makes me a believer.

Duck Donuts is an upscale gourmet biscuit and donut shop that offers a modern environment with ample seating. In addition to their delicious made-to-order donuts, they also serve biscuit sandwiches. Customers can customize their donuts by choosing the coating, drizzle, and toppings. One of their popular flavors is the Bacon in the Sun donut, featuring maple icing, bacon bits, and caramel drizzle.
Heard about this place and can't wait to try it out. Never imagine finding a place where they sell warm donuts like it's just came out from the oven. We ordered half a dozen donuts and caramel macchiato. It was all yummy, tasty and superb! I will definitely come here again!

I guess Valentine’s Day is the busiest day for them, and for this reason, I placed my order online one day in advance! When I got there they were lost, just 3 people trying to attend everybody! My order wasn’t ready at 8am as requested, and I had to complain, end getting 20 minutes later! They need to improve their service for these occasions! Also, my donuts weren’t as beautiful as it was supposed to be per the picture they promised online! 😥

I’m not sure what people see in these donuts. Bought them fresh and thats a cool approach but the icing melted right off and by the time we let them cool they were terrible tasting with no flavor or icing. Half stuck to the box & not worth $18 for 6 donuts & 2 espressos. Good espresso and friendly service

AMAZING. Fresh and hot!! I ordered pick up, they were insanely fresh and warm when I started eating!😍 They’re gorgeous as well, I love their BYO donuts and love trying all the new flavor combinations. Super aesthetic, super tasty, super fresh. The donut itself isn’t too sweet so the toppings aren’t too overwhelming. I love everything about this place. Super unique. $2 for a BYO donut, choose your base, TWO toppings, and a drizzle.

Together with my friend, who used to order donuts for her daughter, I went there, and I have to say that it's a terrific experience since you get really hot, freshly made donuts. They take your order and begin creating the donuts based on your options. I would definitely give this another go in the near future. A must-visit location to sample some hot and freshly made doughnuts.

I know there are a lot of people that find Duck Donuts to be an overhyped donut place. They are sorely wrong. The donuts here are amazing. They have an awesome selection of wild donuts. Plus they have seasonal ones which are cool, so it’s not the same ones over and over again. The donuts are way better than Krispy Kreme or Dunkin’ Donuts. They are super soft and are made to order. I split a half dozen and got some really tasty choices. This included: a cookies & cream donut, a peanut butter paradise donut and a coconut Island Bliss Donut. I would get any of them again. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the mood for donuts.

My first time here and I will definitely be a regular customer. I saw a couple on social media that tried the donut sandwich and I had to try one. It was so delicious! My new favorite! It wasn't too sweet even with the maple topping and was fresh and delicious! And the fresh donut was not greasy. A must try for any foodie like myself. It's worth the 30 minute drive from my home.

My husband walked into Duck Donuts and requested one of the Mother’s Day donuts with the rose in the middle. He was told he could not purchase just one donut with the flower, that he had to buy the whole Mother’s Day Dozen to get it. He said ok and paid for the special Mother’s Day Dozen. Upon being called over for his order, he looked at the donuts. None of them had a frosted rose in the center as pictured on the menu (the whole reason he was told he had to buy the dozen). The girl at the counter just placed a papery looking flower image on 2 donuts. My husband asked where the frosted roses were. The girl replied that was only the photo. That the papery flowers are edible. What terrible service and FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. My husband paid extra by ordering a bunch of donuts we would not have picked…only to get a sad looking knock off of a beautifully advertised donut for a special day. I could see if they ran out of the roses and said sorry, we ran out (before the transaction). But this was plain swindling. Not smart on your part Duck Donuts of Cary. Do better customer service and don’t advertise something, and have people pay EXTRA for something, you DON’T have. **Pictured are the donuts recieved vs the advertised donut.** **One donut is missing due to my toddler having one before the photo was taken**

chanticleer: we really like this restaurant for breakfast. There was a steady line when we went in, and there was still a steady line when we left, which is a great indication of how good this restaurant is. The place is pretty open with tables and booths for sitting throughout. The restaurant has lots of pastries and breakfast and lunch meals. We ordered the croissant egg sandwich with a side of bacon and we also ordered the Californian sandwich. I thought the egg sandwich on the croissant was great. So was the Almond croissant which was a little hearty compared to other ones I’ve had that seem lighter. I really enjoyed this one. They also had different types of coffees, including some specialty coffees. I ordered the gingerbread latte and it was really good. It’s like a bakery and a restaurant. The baked goods looked incredible. The layout of the store is pretty simple, but I felt it lacked a little bit of coziness, mainly because the walls were pretty bare. The counter section and displays are great, but it just feels like the decorating of the room could use some extra pictures or something. Overall, we thought this place was great and recommended to others. You can tell there’s a loyal customer base and I’m pretty sure it’s because of the good food and the great customer service.

I love the pastries and the caprese panini. The caprese panini is so simple yet so delicious at the same time. It is fresh melted mozzarella, freshly cut basil and sliced tomatoes on a warm ciabatta roll. I get this sandwich all the time and it can be for breakfast or lunch . I also had a honey lavender scone yesterday with a lavender latte and wow- perfect combo. You order at the counter and get a buzzer that beeps when the food is ready . There is indoor and outdoor seating and the staff is always friendly . I love this local cafe and highly recommend when in that part of Cary.

Great cafe that has a wonderful assortment of pastries and desserts along with sandwiches and huge salads. Plenty of parking and good place to grab a table or take and go. I ended up getting the BLT Salad, Onion Soup, and Banana Cream Cheesecake. The salad was huge and was pretty good with lots of bacon bits and creamy dressing. The French Onion Soup was flavorful with some melted cheese on top. The Banana Cream Cheesecake was excellent! Such a lovely banana flavor that was decadent and so good! Atmosphere was nice and open and the service was friendly!

Nice but rather average in atmosphere and food quality. Service was marked down just because they got our order wrong and had to remake one of the breakfast sandwiches. Others seemed to really like the place because it was packed with a constant line, and all the tables were full. Went on a Friday at around 10 am.

Baker's Dozen Donut Shop is a beloved classic donut spot located on Buck Jones Road in Cary, N.C., with an additional location on Capital Boulevard. The shop offers traditional and specialty donuts, sticking to old-fashioned methods and flavors. Despite its unassuming appearance, the shop boasts a delightful array of delicious donut choices, including long filled donuts.
This was my first visit to this donut shop, and I was excited to see what all the fuss was about. A coworker had talk about their donuts, so I felt I had to check it out myself. The donuts were incredibly soft and bursting with flavor. The shop had a lot of customers, which is always a good sign.I can confidently say I've found my new favorite donut spot. I can't wait to return and try even more flavors!

This place is AMAZING. The donuts are so fluffy that it's like eating a cloud. The regular staff there on weekday mornings are incredibly fast and efficient. I can order 2 dozen donuts and have them packed in boxes, be rung up, and out the door in under 5 minutes. I've never had faster service at a donut place in my life. Best of all, their prices are fantastic! WAY more affordable than any of the big donut chain stores. 2 dozen donuts cost me $32 (before tip) today. I couldn't get grocery store donuts that cheap! They smell so good that I often have people asking where I got them before they've even taken a bite. 5 out of 5 stars! I hope they stay in business for many more years to come!

The glazed donut was light and still warm. Very busy at 9:30 on a Friday. The line was a bit disorganized and there was only one worker with many people ordering dozens of donuts. Worth a try but I recommend going as soon as they open.

Probably the best donuts ever! Small place, but plenty of parking. Inside was bustling with people eagerly waiting for donuts. I would consider this place a carry out only. We tried the apple fritters, a strawberry cake donut, and coffee. The coffee was so-so, but the donuts were amazing. If I ever make this trip again or if you find yourself near there, this is a must stop! Snagged a picture of the cinnamon rolls while waiting

I've tried some of the more "fancier" donut options raleigh has to offer over the past year and let me say, these are some of the best tasting donuts I've ever tried anywhere. So many shops use too much oil or the dough is too thick etc.. But these are so perfect. Both styles are great, the regular glazed is so soft and fluffy and the cake ones are very soft and moist as well. Can't go wrong with any choices here. The only thing I haven't tried are the fritters but I imagine those are probably incredible as well. Not to mention if you buy a dozen you get a 13th one for free. It was like 14 bucks which is awesome. I'll def be going back!

Best donuts in the Triangle, nobody else comes close. Every donut they have is spectacular, but my personal favorites are: Devil's Food, Chocolate Creme, Sugar Raise, French Crueller, Chocolate Frosted, and White Creme. What makes these donuts so good is they are perfectly flavored, straightforward donuts that don't rely on gimmicks like having cereal poured over them or weird flavors. Just perfect donuts.

Nestled in the heart of Northwest Raleigh, Groovy Duck Bakery has been delighting sweet tooths for nearly a decade. This charming establishment offers an impressive array of baked goods, from specialty cakes to customizable treats that let you mix and match flavors and frostings. A must-try is their decadent Triple Chocolate cake, perfect for any chocolate lover.
We took a road trip to Raleigh to check this bakery out because of the ducks!! (No, I don't own a jeep) It was easy to get and plenty of parking. They had a nice selection of baked goods. Cheryl took our order. She was helpful and answered our questions about the baked goods. My daughter got the Lemon Poppyseed muffin and I had the Radical Raspberry muffin with the Groovy Grasshopper coffee. Everything was delicious!!!

Cute little bakery, lots of yummy looking choices. The triple chocolate cake was good, but a bit mild in flavor and could have had more of a chocolate taste to it. But I'd definitely go back to try one if their custom made cakes in the future, like the banana pudding. That sounds amazing.

Amazingly adorable, duck themed with lots of duck decorations. It smells wonderful and they have a big selection of beautiful cakes, cupcakes, muffins and more. The coffee is DELICIOUS! Try the "Tacky Turtle", caramel, chocolate and tiramisu - so delicious! The muffins are so yummy! They even sell the little ducks that seem to be gracing dashboards everywhere. They have a huge selection and they're only $1.75 each. Highly recommend this as nice place to treat yourself to something delicious, something cute (quack!) or both!

This is one of my favorite places to go for coffee, snacks, desserts, and cakes. I used to go so often they already knew my coffee order and would be in the process of making it when I walked in the door. A few years ago I had them make some cupcakes for my partner's birthday and they turned out wonderfully. I always see the cakes in their display cakes and they look amazing. If you're unsure of what to get, I highly recommend their muffins (amish friendship is my favoritee) or get the monster bar (it's a brownie with oreo in it!).

I once again indulged in a dozen gourmet cupcakes from this bakery and oh, boy, they did not disappoint! Their decadent flavor choices were exceptional. I chose Oreo, German Chocolate, Pumpkin, Neopolitan, Carrot Cake and Strawberry Preserves. The fillings in each cupcake make them even more delectable. I was pleasantly surprised that ones left over from the party were even better the next day or two! Staff was more than patient as I made my selection and helpful with their advice to keep the treats refrigerated until an hour or so before serving them. I can't wait for the next opportunity to "get my groove on" (see what I did there? Ha ha), and I suggest you do the same. I hope to try the banana pudding cake!

One of the friendliest and best bakeries in Raleigh. I have purchased two birthday cakes from this bakery and they have both been delicious. I recently had to order a very last minute cake and the bakery was able to accommodate my order. They have a really great design team there as well. I even brought a cake to Charlotte and the packaging of the cake made transportation easy. The cake was beautiful and everyone enjoyed it. The store has so many good bakery and coffee items.

I like that place for studying, but I always have issues with the boba; it's always hard. It should be soft. This is the third time ordering a drink with boba, and it's still hard. Other than that, the place is very nice to enjoy your time.

Great coffee and pastries spot in Cary. They roast their own beans, coffee is always fresh and great tasting , large selection of syrups. Their bakery is star of the show, they run out of pastries pretty quickly so I’d suggest getting them earlier in the day. Today I tried Dutch slow brew iced coffee with brown sugar cinnamon syrup with cream, and a pistachio croissant. Croissant was perfectly flaky and just right amount of sweetness. Coffee was great as usual. Staff is very nice, ample amount of seating. Highly recommend trying out this hidden gem !!

First off prepare for the place to be busy! And it's not about the coffee, they have out of this world baked goods. I was lucky enough to come across somebody sitting outside that lived in Korea and she said the baked goods across from the coffee counter in the woven baskets were truly legit. So don't be fooled by just the glorious items behind the glass at the coffee counter! The more decadent pastries in the glass are slightly more Americanized but fantastic as well. Regardless of where any idea came from they were all awesome.

I wanted to love this bakery because I read so many 5 star reviews. The place is indeed cute, eclectic, homey look and feel. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The coffee selections sound so uniquely delicious but was sorely disappointed with their “raspberry kiss” drink didn’t give me the love it sounded - it was watered down and the raspberry flavor was too artificial. The croffle was slightly too brown. The selection of pastries was pretty slim. Maybe it was an off day???

My friend & I talked for a while here after getting coffee & a slight meal. I got the spinach and cheese on a croissant, chedder & ricotta🥐. It was delicious! My friend got the Apple croissant and she said it was so tasty, she finished it all. ☺️ I will be back. I need to try the Pain au chocolate & mozzarella tomato pesto croissant. They have so many flavor lattes and croissant options savory and sweet. One thing I would like, if they added this, would be a toasted option for all pastries, a quick 1-2 mins, but even not toasted they are a must try.

In addition to freshly baked bread, they also offer sandwiches, salads, soups, and gluten-free products on their menu.
Updating my review as we are now pretty regular visitors to this Great Harvest. It has become our go-to for a good, fresh lunch with good value. Their turkey sandwich on fresh baked bread is our usual. The staff is friendly and you always feel welcome. Indoor and outdoor seating is great. Fresh brewed tea is good. Great spot to grab a special treat or fresh bread item. Love the seasonal items, and to buy bread or treats for gifts. Helpful staff. My grandmother was missing an item made in an out-of-state Great Harvest and they literally got the recipe and started making it upon her request. So cool of them!

Quite possibly the best bakery experience that I have ever had! There are many reasons why this place is my new favorite; the staff is kind and create the most delicious breads, muffins and cakes to name a few. The energy inside is great where you can listen to some classic 80s tunes while you munch the grindage [❤️ Pauly Shore reference for those who don't speak 80's]... Jenn is the owner and she is a brilliant baker who found the best way to source all natural ingredients locally while keeping the price in a perfect spot. No preservatives or un-pronounceable ingredients keep me very clean and clear feeling through my day. I've been coming daily and that's why I consider it the BEST!

I ordered a custom cake for my Mom’s 60th birthday. I was trying to find a bakery that could replicate one of my Mom’s favorite cakes from her hometown and when I emailed Sugar Buzz they said they could do the cake for me. It’s a Banana Split cake and I have to say that their version turned out BETTER than the original from my Mom’s hometown! It was delicious and looked beautiful! We really loved it and I will definitely be ordering more desserts in the future from here. Thank you!

We ordered a cake for my son's 7th birthday today, and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The decoration was exactly what we asked for, but the cake itself...I would rather eat a two-day old squirrel off the road than taste another slice of this. The cake was dry, overbaked and flavorless. They didn't even try to trim the overbaked cake, and just left the dry "crust" hidden by a layer of icing. The strawberry buttercream might have well been a hard stick of butter that tastes artificial and has the consistency of fondant, or taffy. Since they were closed on Sunday and Monday, we had to pick up the cake on Saturday at 3pm. The cake was refrigerated until 4pm today, when it was then brought out to come up to room temp for a 7pm cutting. As of 9pm tonight, the internal temperature is 58 degrees, which should be adequate to soften butter molecules - but this is as tough as salt-water taffy. Perhaps that's intentional because the cake is 3 layers - two layers of cake, and one 2-inch layer of strawberry buttercream (taffy) in the middle, but it's simply inedible. The worst part was my son's reaction when eating it. He had two bites, looked down-trodden, and asked if he could have a bowl of cereal instead. This Sugar Buzz was a Sugar BUST. :(

My wife ordered a cake from here a month ago for my birthday on the 10th for this month. When we cut into the cake it was a unpleasant bite. We ordered a red velvet cake ( my favorite) and the bite itself was awful... you could taste the excess amount of flour in the cake, the cake had a grittiness to it which made it even more off-putting and the cream cheese icing was almost sour. I understand that red velvet is basically a chocolate cake, but the inside didn't even look like that bright red of a red velvet. The inside of this cake looked so dry and didn't even resemble a red velvet cake, this was a real disappointment because this bakery had great reviews but the cake was a major let down... especially since it's something I've been looking forward to for months and the cost itself was just a waste of money and a real big let down.

I had a wonderful experience at this bakery. The pastries are absolutely delicious, fresh, and noticeably free from the overly sweet artificial taste you often find in American style treats. Everything tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared. I would recommend sticking to the chilled items though, as the warm options were not quite hot enough for my liking. The cakes are truly exceptional and definitely a must try. Especially the apple one.

I paid $9 for a “pimento pretzel croissant.” I’ve traveled and been to some incredible bakeries, and $9 usually gets you the best of the best. Most expensive pastries run around $6–7. At the farmer’s market, there were no prices listed. I ordered the croissant, and before I even had a chance to react, she said it was $9. I paid, tried it, and it was stale—absolutely not worth the price. I went back to share my disappointment, and the only response I got was, “Well, they were made this morning.” That was it. Terrible customer service. Do not waste your money. I can’t speak on the storefront, but the farmer’s market experience was subpar. If you’re charging like it’s the best of the best, the product should come close. This was nowhere near.

I tried the Turkish coffee, and honestly, it’s one of the best coffees I’ve ever had. The prices are very reasonable for both the drinks and desserts.

Ice cream shop
The Howling Cow Dairy Education Center and Creamery is a farm-based ice cream shop located on the NC State University campus in Raleigh, North Carolina. With over 30 flavors to choose from, the shop offers something for everyone. The dairy also provides educational materials about the production of ice cream and milk products.
There is always a line. Be prepared but it does move pretty quickly. Portions are huge but the prices reflect that. 2 scoop waffle cone and a ice cream nachos was $20. The nachos are definitely a shareable choice. Hell, 2 scoops is shareable tbh. Worth the visit every time.

I visited Howling Cow Dairy Education Center yesterday while in North Carolina visiting my mom and stepdad. My husband and I tried the ice cream nachos, and they were absolutely delicious! You could really tell the ice cream is made with high-quality ingredients. The experience was great overall — even though there was a long line, it was definitely worth the wait. While waiting, you get to enjoy beautiful scenery and watch the cows, which was a nice touch. There’s plenty of space for kids to run around and have fun too. The only downside was that parking was a bit limited for the number of visitors, but it didn’t take away from the visit at all. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Howling Cow is the perfect mix of education and enjoyment. The ice cream is rich, creamy, and made with milk from cows right on the farm. The Dairy Education Center gives visitors a unique look into how dairy products are made, and the Randleigh Dairy Museum offers interactive exhibits for all ages. The porch with rocking chairs and views of the pastures make it a relaxing stop. It can get busy on weekends, but it’s absolutely worth the visit.

We searched google for Best ice cream in Cary area and Howling Cow was one in the list. The place is lovely, service was nice, price was reasonable and the ice cream was really yummy. It was crowded, all the outdoor seats were occupied so we sat inside enjoying our ice cream. This will be our go to when we crave for ice cream.

My family and I have been here before. The choice of ice cream flavors is not big, the quality is good, but for me it is too sweet. I usually take a milkshake, I like banana. Also in the store there are dairy products, milk, cheese, merch (T-shirts, souvenirs). The service is friendly. The most pleasant thing is the veranda, where all the guests gather with their families to enjoy the beautiful views and ice cream. There is a farm with cows nearby, so the children really like it there.

Howling Cow is amazing ice cream, and the shop is always busy and full of locals and out of towners coming in to get a taste. The students are very helpful and it makes you feel good knowing the service and the process of making the ice cream ( from raising the cows to processing the cream into the ice cream) is all done on campus with the purpose to teach students. The shop is set in a beautiful spot on the Lake Wheeler Road Research Farm and overlooks the pasture where the cows graze. You can get your ice cream of choice and sit in a rocking chair on the porch to eat it. It's an awesome way to spend a moment!

If you're on the hunt for a delightful ice cream experience in Cary, look no further than FRESH. Local Ice Cream. This charming little shop may be smaller than some of its competitors, but it packs a punch with an impressive selection of over 20 flavors, including seasonal and monthly specials that keep things exciting. What sets FRESH apart is its commitment to using fresh ingredients sourced from local farms, resulting in an incredibly creamy and soft texture that's hard to find elsewhere.
It was a hot Friday afternoon, tho a bit muggy as it had been raining earlier. Perfect weather for some ice cream. We were in downtown Cary park and decided to walk over. The place opens at 12:30 which is a bit odd, but worth the wait. Plenty of options. We had the cookie dough and key lime pie variety. Cookie dough had a lot of toppings and was definitely a lot of ice cream. Great place, would go back!
Robin M — Google review
This place was recommended to us by one of the other local shops and did not disappoint. The flavors were very good and the ice cream was nice and creamy. I got a "single" scoop in a warm waffle cone (just made) and it was closer to a double scoop at BR. My girlfriend got a double scoop (2 flavors) and it was a lot. She was not disappointed by the taste or the amount. The girl who helped us was super nice and friendly and we probably sampled at least 10 flavors before we finally made up our minds. She was patient and friendly. Excellent customer service!

Local fresh was a nice ice cream shop, but the customer service was lacking. The place has great reviews and the ice cream is tasty, but the servers weren’t very friendly and seemed eager for us to leave. The store was clean with a nice simple layout. Maybe a refresher on some customer service training.

have been to another location in the past and this location still kept the quality to standard and was delicious! i got the banana pudding ice cream which had a strong banana flavor with pieces of vanilla cake/nilla wafers. staff was super friendly and they moved quickly despite being a long line. it’s a small store so it does get pretty tight in there during peak hours. would come again in the future. i also recommend the sea salt honey!

It doesn't get any more local and fresh than that!!! Raleigh family owned establishment, homemade, no preservatives, high quality ice cream 🍨 The place is small so it gets packed quickly. They have some merch and some goodies in the shelves as well. I got the banana pudding and coconut almond crunch, so delicious!! By the way, the waffle cones were so good too, not too sugary. They also have a water station at the end of the register or on the right side as soon as you enter.

Ever since we moved to North Carolina we have been in search for a good Bombay sandwich and this place has hit the spot. Nothing hits like a nice hot sandwich filled with strong flavors. The portion size was perfect. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a Bombay style sandwich. We didn’t get ours with Amul cheese but you can request for a more authentic flavor profile. We came during a slow time and got our food very quickly which was nice. When I go again I’ll definitely be adding tomatoes, onions, and cheese. 😮‍💨👌

Nice Ambience. Average food but service and communication should be better for sure. We went in at 8(they close at 8:30) and ordered pavbhaji and paneer tikka sandwich. The lady took the order and we sat waiting only to be surprised by the to-go bag saying the order is ready. When asked if we can eat it here she was blunt in answering we close at 8:30. It could have gone a couple of ways. she could’ve informed it’s only to-go, it would’ve been nice. Even when the order was ready, had she acknowledged and let us dine in, i’d have visited at least a couple more times. Now I am not going back. I could have raised an issue right then and there, but I didn’t see the point in explaining how not to end your working day.

Disgusting food. Ordered paneer roll, chole bhature, and panner toast.. the roll was a papad and not a roll like with some old stuffing of green pepper.. chole was black Chana and not authentic chole. Paneer toast had little to no paneer with just bread pieces. No wonder the ratings are so low..

I have been to this bakery three times since it is the only place next door to where I take my dog and would have liked to sit and ordered coffee with a piece of cake. All 3 times I wait for a long time for someone to come to the front counter. And when the female finally does show up she has such a bad attitude as if I was a bother. The cakes I tried: Mango, Black Forest and pineapple were dry. This was my third and last try to support this local business since after waiting for 7 minutes I walked out. They have a loud ringer alert when you enter their establishment but I guess no one hears it in the back.

We always go to the Andia's on Green level, yet I was in this part of town and happy to find this location tucked away in the corner. They offer the same flavors, service and fresh waffles. They have a few new flavors each month and then their signature flavors all the time. I always get the rose pistachio. If I am feeling adventurous, I get the flight to try 6 flavors . You can also buy the pints to take home. I recommend signing up for their rewards program to get points .

Atmosphere: 5.4/10 The setting is basic, featuring decent seating options both inside and outside under umbrellas, which adds a touch of comfort for those preferring to enjoy their treats outdoors. Service: 6.1/10 The staff maintained a clean environment and was attentive, efficiently managing to keep up with the service demands. Their friendly approach helped make the experience more enjoyable, despite the simplicity of the interaction. Food: Cotton Candy Ice Cream: 8.1/10 The ice cream stood out with its exceptional homemade quality. Each bite revealed perfect creaminess and a delightful flavor that melted smoothly, making it a memorable part of the visit. S'more Milkshake: 5.7/10 While the milkshake was visually appealing, its practicality was compromised by an overly decorative presentation that resulted in a messy experience. The use of a mason jar with the venue's logo was a creative touch, though the functionality of the shake could be improved.

Had a rough morning and decided to treat myself—so glad I did. I tried the Dubai chocolate latte with the crackle chocolate cup, and it was easily one of the most flavorful coffees I’ve had recently. The espresso was smooth and rich (I’ll be adding an extra shot next time!). They had a fun display of donuts and corn dogs, which made it easy to see what’s available. I picked three mochi donuts: cotton candy, maple bacon, and Dubai chocolate. So far, I’ve only tried the maple bacon—soft, savory, and absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back for more.

Soul Cup in Cary is a gem!🧡🧡🧡 The only thing I didn't like was the use of Great Value milk; that brand was recalled in mac and cheese... I don't trust their products, as it is the cheapest brand on the market. The atmosphere is so cozy. It's the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

Came here to try the locally viral Dubai chocolate latte and ended up spending extra on matcha lattes, donuts, and Korean corn dogs. Everything was so good! Prices are a bit high, but that is expected for Cary. The employees were all really kind and hard working. We came just before there was a line out the door (4pm on a Tuesday). The food and drink probably took around 20 minutes, so be patient when it’s busy! The place is also fairly small, so don’t expect to get a table if it’s busy. The only donut we tired that we didn’t like was the matcha flavor. Overall, I would recommend trying this place out. I’d come more often or it wasn’t 40+ minutes from us.

It was our first time trying samoon and it was delicious! I think it was the freshest bread I’ve ever had- practically straight out of the oven. We dipped the bread in both hummus and labneh (similar to cream cheese). We also tried the baklava which was great. The store is welcoming to people of all backgrounds!

This is a family owned business- the brothers who manage this store are very kind and very professional.

I was craving for ice cream and a friend told us about Goodberry’s so here we are. So glad I listened to my friend. We ordered a medium size of their specialty (manager feature): Nutella custard with Kit Kat, Butter Fingers and Butter Scotch, and wow, it’s really really yummy. Medium size is big, good enough for 2 to share. Service is great! The young lady seeing 2 of us ordered one ice cream immediately asked if we wanted 2 spoons. It’s a small place and there are tables outside, in front and also at the back. Parking is plenty! We will be back!!!

Unfortunately, Goodberry’s did not meet my standards. I ordered the Mint to Be Carolina Concrete. They gave another person my order, and by the time I received it, it was somewhat melted… I think the texture, taste, and consistency of my Carolina Concrete was not worth the 9+ dollars I paid for it. I will be back at some point to try another item on the menu before calling it quits.

I just went to Goodberry’s on Davis Dr and had the worst ice cream ever. The taste and texture were completely off compared to before. It tasted like it was made with powdered milk and water, with some artificial sweetener like aspartame that left a strange aftertaste. Ice cream is supposed to be creamy and white, but this one was light cream in color and had the texture of a fat-free sorbet. Honestly, it was the worst ice cream I’ve had in town.

The creamy varieties here are very very delicious and will fully satisfy ice cream lovers! They are very rich, creamy and innovative. The sampler style is perfect for those who want to taste many flavors. The store has wonderful staff who are very sweet even during the busiest hour of the day. I loved Ube, baklava, summer berry, double chocolate and rose pistachio. I could have these everyday from here if I lived closer!!

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to try this place for the longest. We finally did and I kid you not, we were back there the next day. The employees are so friendly and the manager on duty is so nice!! We got sample flights and ice cream brûlées on both days. Then my boyfriend tried the brownie batter milkshake and everything is a 10/10. We also tried the toasted marshmallow fluff on the side and ughhh I can’t even put into words how good everything is. It tastes so fresh and I’m so glad we live within walking distance. And not to mention, the place is super cute inside as well. Definitely will be going back soon and I’d recommend anything on the menu! 👏🏾💐

Andia’s Ice Cream is a charming petite shop in Cary, NC, and it truly delivers! The ice cream is delicious—and everyone I was with loved it too. The service was friendly and efficient, and as we were leaving, I noticed the line had grown quite long (a good sign!). They even offer some outdoor seating. Highly recommend stopping by for a sweet treat!

The ice cream is decent and they do change flavors every month which makes it exciting. The pup cup is fairly priced for once ❤️ and my dog takes some time to finish it which is great!

I saw a video about Andia's and I've been wanting to try it since! We came on Father's Day and there was a deal for free ice cream so the line was very long. It gave us time to look at the flavors and figure out what we wanted. By the time we reached the front we still couldn't decide, so we went with the sampler which gives 6 mini scoops. It ended up being perfect and gave the two of us a chance to get a taste of 12 flavors. Out of the ones we had, we really liked Oreo latte, brownie batter, mint chip and strawberry. Despite the busy day the employees were really friendly and working very quickly. The inside was really clean and there was a decent amount of seating.

Yummmmmmm. Can't resist flavors of the month, they always offer vegan gf options and they are creamier than any dairy I've ever eaten. The only permanent flavor I've tried is Ube (also vegan and oh my mmnumnummm!!). I'd tell you how fabulous Summer Blues and Mango Sticky Rice were, but those months have now passed. Can't wait to see what I'll be trying in September... fun fact: They have allergy protocol for the very sensitive.

I really want to be that person that supports independent businesses, and there are so many bakeries in the area, but I haven’t found a place that makes cake better than Nothing Bundt Cakes. My entire family buys cake from here for every occasion including birthdays, Christmas, baby showers, and work events. Our favorite flavor is White Chocolate Raspberry. Service is always excellent even when busy. If you know of another place, please let me know in the comments.

I tried to place an online order to surprise an out of state family member for their birthday who was only here for a short time. The online ordering page kept freezing so I called to get assistance, the person said they have problems w/ their online ordering & checked to verify they could take a delivery order over the phone. I placed the order, & was told it would be delivered by 10 in the morning. I stalled everyone waiting for the delivery to arrive, even called & was told it hadn’t been picked up yet. Asked 3x to make sure my # was w/the order in case the driver needed directions. At 11 I received a call & was told that they can’t take delivery orders over the phone & to try online again & if it doesn’t work to go pu the order. By this time, my visitors were itching to get back on the road. I chose to void the order & have nothing to offer as a birthday surprise for their road trip. If they would have been honest yesterday, I could have ordered from someone else. Horrible customer service, horrible way to do business!

I work across the street at Cellular Sales, Verizon. I had a customer that brought myself and the staff, several cakes to show appreciation. I was blown away how amazing they were. Then, Stephanie became one of my customers and when I was bragging how wonderful the cakes are and the staff, explained that I am a fan now, she left and came back to surprise myself and the staff with a variety of cupcakes!

We asked if we could sample before buying and was given a rude answer. Both of the employees were rude. When someone had 3 kids and is spending 80-100 in your store you could at least make a effort.

Made a post about my experience from last night, then I was lied on saying there was an issue with my payment when there was no issue. I was trying to see if I had any point on my app and was being rushed the entire time. Made 1 charge to my card and left. “I recently visited the Cold Stone location in Crossroad Plaza and had a disappointing experience. Upon entering, I felt rushed throughout the entire process, particularly with three children attempting to decide on their desired toppings, in addition to my husband, who was not present, also requesting ice cream with toppings. I was rushed to the extent that I was unable to place an order for myself. Furthermore, upon reaching the checkout, I discovered that we were being charged an additional $1 per topping. Not to mention the ice cream melted soon as I got to the car”

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to bake a better cake than Smallcakes. They have a huge variety if classic and creative flavors. Some of the flavors rotate so there's always something new to try. The cakes are beautiful and delicious. While they are big enough for two, you won't want to share. If you're looking for dessert on a date, after dinner, or for an event, you can't beat Smallcakes.

I love both the rolled ice cream and tea here! A little on the pricey side, though. Nevertheless, I have been multiple times, and it is always delicious. I always get the Yuzu tea with mango star jelly, and it’s a lovely and refreshing combo! As far as the ice creams, I’ve tried many, including the Mango Madness, Unicorn Poop, and Cookie Monster, which are pictured, along with some others like the seasonal pumpkin pie one. They have all been great, and it’s also a nice touch to be able to watch the ice creams being made! The service has also been fairly efficient every time except for once, which happened around a week ago. I saw another review talking about the exact same problem I had on this occasion—extremely long wait time for the rolled ice cream. It was clear that the person making the ice cream was a trainee, so it took ~10-15 minutes for one ice cream to be made (keep in mind they usually are much quicker!). There was a long backup for my order—the tea was quick, only a few minutes after I ordered, but I had to wait an extra 25-30 minutes for the ice cream. Someone else was finishing up the ice cream as well, and I think that it might have been more efficient to let that person jump in to make an order or two to keep customers from waiting, but still letting the trainee make some—just not at the cost of the many customers in line. Either way, this has only happened once, and service has been wonderful other than that. I understand mistakes, and I just hope they learn how to keep the efficiency when there is a trainee in the future! Long review, but I highly recommend this establishment for delicious tea or rolled ice cream!

We have been here a few times now and we're always happy with our drinks. They use quality ingredients, such as real fruit, which makes a difference. They offer a few different non-dairy milk options. There are several add-ins and toppings, such as boba balls and jellies. And for those who prefer it, they even have an in-store self-ordering screen. My favorite drink so far is the Banana Fresh Milk (with oat milk).

Probably the worst ice cream in the whole NC. The quality of ice cream tastes worse than the frozen Walmart ice creams. Plus it’s so sweet, I had to throw it out. I felt like catching diabetes while eating that garbage. And on top of that they lost my friend’s order, so he had to wait for a long time. Never coming back again. Do yourself a favor and find other Ice-cream shops near Raleigh.

At this traditional burger and fries fast-food establishment, the menu highlights soft-serve ice cream and unique milkshakes. During a brief visit before an appointment, I purchased a beverage and some fries. Initially, I contemplated ordering a blizzard but decided against it due to the steep price of even the smallest size at nearly $5. The quality of the fries left something to be desired, while the drink was satisfactory.
There are 2 dairy queen's within a 10 minute drive of my house. My recent experiences at the other have been lacking (though not terrible) so I revisitted this location. The food was slightly better here, but even better the attitude of Mallaika and her treatments was among the best of any fast food restaurant I've been in, in the last few years.

Having grown up in the midwest, and playing baseball most of my youth, there are five things that just go naturally together to me. Chili Dogs, Root Beer, Onion Rings, a good time, and Dairy Queen. I had taken my younger brother to Duke for a treatment on his eye, and we were heading back home toward Swansboro on Highway 40. We'd been on the road for a while... and hadn't eaten since that morning. So we took the exit for Cary Towne Blvd, and decided to get a bite to eat. There were a ton of choices... but there at Walnut Street one caught my eye... It was the Dairy Queen Grill and Chill.... It was dusk, it had been a long day, and little brother after his treatment was having a bit of trouble focusing. The crew was absolutely amazing with him... and guided him through the ordering process. He ended up ordering his favorites, a Brazier Burger, Onion Rings, and a Diet Coke. My turn... two Chili Dogs, an order of Cheese Curds (((a midwestern favorite I didn't expect to find in the heart of North Carolina))), and a sugar free Root Beer. I was impressed how clean the place looked behind the counter. The service was awesome with a capitol A, and my Chili Dogs were off the charts great!! The Cheese Curds were every bit as good as what I used to enjoy as a kid after baseball games as I dipped them in the marinara sauce, and enjoyed my ice cold root beer. That Brazier Burger and Onion Rings must have been mighty good also because little brother inhaled them... and was treated to a Blizzard for desert. I loved the experience. And next trip up toward Raleigh or Durham, I will definitely be back. Over the years I've been to a lot of Dairy Queens, and each one has it's own unique character... but I have to tell you... This one.... this one... really was one of the best!! Back to my travels.... see you at my next stop. JM

This was our first time visiting here as we were in Cary/Chapel Hill for the day. Up from Fayetteville. My daughter wanted to try this place especially for the Dubai chocolate. She absolutely loved it. I taste a little bit and it was very good and tasty. Yet sweet. Not overwhelming, but if you have a sweet tooth you’d definitely enjoy this place. Highly recommend. Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly also. Nice and clean environment. Bathrooms were immaculate also. Major plus!

My friends and I went here for some dessert 🍨 and it was delicious 😋 However, it’s not sweet enough. Vida Dulce is a great place for families to gather together and enjoy. 🍦 Everything is very colorful so it’s perfect for kids. Plenty of space to play and run around. The atmosphere reminds me of summertime. They have colorful benches outside to sit and enjoy 🍧

Vida Dulce absolutely blew me away! I tried their Dubai Chocolate with Strawberries and it was next-level delicious. The chocolate was rich, velvety, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet—with juicy strawberries that made each bite feel like a luxury dessert straight out of a high-end pâtisserie. And don’t even get me started on the salchipapa—it was incredible! The fries were golden and crispy, the sausage had the perfect snap and seasoning, and the toppings brought the whole dish together like a flavor explosion. Comfort food at its finest. Friendly staff, cozy vibes, and food that makes you smile—Vida Dulce is easily a 5-star gem. I’m already planning my next visit!

We decided to try this place after dinner because it said they had some vegan ice cream options. This place is Latinex owned and really cool. The whole menu is in English on one side and Spanish on the other. Love the inclusivity! Their menu is fairly well labeled in that they showed 4 items as vegan when we were there. But upon speaking to am employee, we were told they actually only had 2 of those items in stock. So we both each got a scoop of Mango and Lime to try. Although they weren't ice cream, but instead sorbet, they were both pretty good. The mango definitely had a creamier texture, so I'd get that one again if I ever end up back that way. I'd happily give them 5 stars if they actually had vegan ice cream and not sorbet, so that's the only change I'd make.

It was a hot day and we wanted to cool it up with some ice creams ! Good location in Cary .. they have seats inside to sit and eat. Nice interiors .. service was average . Not much crowd but it takes them time to take orders and deliver . They have lots of options . Ice creams , churros , sweet corn cups , milkshakes , cola sticks , slushy , fried plantains etc .. they were taking orders in Spanish and I didn’t know :) asked for a strawberry fresh ice cream but ended up getting a strawberry with cream ! Kid got ice cream and it was good . Wanted to give 3.5 stars but gave a 4 ! Overall a OK experience .

The eggnog flavor is one of the best ice cream flavors I have ever had! The pistachio cream was also right up there 👌 Update: We got so hooked on the eggnog that we ordered delivery of more of it the next day. It was so 😋

Yopop Frozen Yogurt is a self-serve shop located at Crossroads, offering a wide variety of flavors and toppings. Customers can create their own concoctions with over 30 types of toppings available. The cozy and convenient spot has both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a fun date location. While some find the price slightly high, the overall experience is enjoyable for both kids and adults. Some customers wish for more non-dairy options but appreciate the delicious flavors like taro and chocolate.
The ice cream is so good and delicious! There is so many different toppings to pick from!
Gosia K — Google review
It’s perfectly average and mid to me. My husband and I bout got a cup totaled to 26 which is fine except it’s very basic. The popping pearls I think are stale they don’t exactly burst. The strawberry yogurt is overly sweet not enough strawberry flavor. Vanilla is fine. Taro is cool. The mango saves it all.
Lori L — Google review
I’m not sure where everyone gets their prices from because I can usually fill my cup up above the top and the price will be $10-$12. Anyways the froyo tastes delicious and there’s a good amount of toppings, although I usually don’t get any because the froyo is enough. The staff is very friendly and attentive despite it being self serve. Great place, even in the winter!

this frozen yogurt shop is so fun! everything is self serve. the lady at the counter is very sweet and this is definitely such a fun spot to bring your partner for a little fun date! my boyfriend and i got coconut and cake batter we loved the flavors and there’s so many options to choose from! i feel like this spot deserves more recognition for how cozy and convenient it is. this place deserves more customers and it saddens me that there’s not.

Convenient location at Crossroads. I tried 5 different flavors and all tasted really good. Better than some of the other frozen yogurt places in my opinion. Would come back. The grounds are mostly well kept with outdoor seating. Inside also seemed clean and organized with limited indoor seating. Toppings all looked fresh.

Pretty good frozen yogurt shop! I just wish that they had more non dairy flavors and some sort of punch card since it can be pricey. My favorite flavors were the taro and the chocolate. There are a lot of toppings available which is great!

Toppings were nicely stocked, not all the machines had yogurt in them though. They had enough that we were satisfied with the choices high. Overall it was decent and we would return with the exception of the spoons. They were so cheap they actually cut our mouths.

Baskin-Robbins is a vibrant ice cream parlor chain that delights visitors with an impressive array of flavors, making it a go-to destination for dessert lovers. The atmosphere is always inviting, and the staff adds to the experience. One standout employee, Will, consistently impresses guests with his friendly demeanor and exceptional service. Whenever you visit Baskin-Robbins, be sure to seek him out for a truly enjoyable experience!
Will is the best. He knows my order when I come in. Very pleasant and accommodating. I definitely ask for him everytime I come

The ice cream is good, but they have apparently down-sized scoop to half-sized. I ordered 2,scoops this afternoon, and they looked like one small one! I asked the window person if this really was two scoops. She assured me it was. the total ice cream did not make it halfway to the cup cover!
Ficherman A — Google review
I went to this Baskin Robbins location around 6:55 PM today to pick up my order—a single scoop in a cone. The store closes at 7:00 PM, and there were two employees inside when I arrived. However, they were dismissive and claimed they didn’t have my pick-up order. Despite their denial, I could see an order displayed on the screen. I understand it was a free scoop promotion, but if Baskin Robbins itself is offering it, why does it matter to them? It almost felt like they wanted to keep the order for themselves. If they aren’t willing to honor the promotion, they should just put up a sign stating so instead of wasting customers’ time. If anyone reading this knows of a better location in the area, please let me know. I also wouldn’t recommend the Apex location, as I had a similar experience there.

Complete awful the worker was so worried about what else was going on didn’t really know what was going on so spaced out!!!! Took forever three ice creams yeah would say stay away one of the worse experiences when getting ice cream should have went to store and bought some could have done way better at home.

Visited this location on 4/23/2023 around closing. Guy with the longer hair (I believe in management) did not blend my smoothie correctly. I advised him that my smoothie was not the correct consistency. Very aggressively, he took my smoothie, poured it back in the blender after I drunk out of it, and then gave it back to me in the same cup and lid.

Horrible wait time. Understaffed.. Do not go. Just went there at around 11:45 am on June 12 and had to wait around 20 minutes for just one coffee and two donuts. I even saw some waiting customers to leave empty handed - with a sad face.

This was my first time trying this place. I’m from out of town but travel here frequently for work. The girl working here was so sweet and gave me samples to try what flavor I may want. I ended up getting the chocolate and peanut butter gelato and it was amazing! Highly recommend this place! Plus, they have a beautiful outside seating area to enjoy your ice cream at!
Kendel D — Google review
In this quaint and delicate shop, the delicious gelato is like nectar from a dream, each bite radiating a rich aroma that captivates the soul. However, the variety of flavors, like the leaves of autumn, though beautiful, are sparse, bringing a tinge of regret even as one savors the taste. These limited flavors are like an unfinished poem—lovely yet fleeting, always leaving one longing for a richer chapter next time. Each visit becomes a culinary adventure on the tip of the tongue, searching for that unique and ephemeral delight.

Honeysuckle Gelato is a great addition to Cary’s growing collection of upscale shops, nestled among enough face serums and $100 leggings to make your wallet break into a nervous sweat. It’s not the newest kid on the block, but it’s definitely part of the fresh wave of “treat yourself” spots popping up in the area. The flavor selection? Impressive. The gelato itself? Not bad at all. In fact, some scoops are quite good. But let’s be real—if you’ve had gelato in Florence or Rome, this won’t exactly make you weep with nostalgia. It’s more “souvenir spoon” than “sacred Italian experience.” Tasty, sure, but not candle-holding worthy. That said, the banana bread pudding flavor deserves a round of applause. It channels the warm, gooey glory of Magnolia Bakery’s iconic dessert and almost justifies the trip on its own. It’s rich, comforting, and dangerously easy to inhale. But here’s where things get sticky: the tipping prompt. A $1 or $2 suggested tip… for scooping a single scoop of gelato? Unless that scoop comes with a eucalyptus-steamed towel and a brief guided meditation, we might need to rethink the service-to-tip ratio. It’s gelato, not a five-course tasting menu. In short, Honeysuckle Gelato is a solid stop for a sweet treat and some light indulgence, just don’t expect the Roman holiday of your dreams. And maybe bring your own spa towel.
Kai — Google review
This little gelataria provides a nice small selection of fresh gelato with some decent cookies as well as the normal associated drinks, shakes, floats, and fresh made waffle cones and bowls. Serving sizes are a little small, but the flavors are pretty strong. The solid adds to the flavors; brownie bits, chips, chunks, etc. are small enough to blend well and are pretty evenly incorporated. The Blondie and Chocolate Brownie were both creamy and was a nice blend of gelato with the adds. The cookies had good flavor and were cooked properly, but were just OK. This is a very busy entertainment/dining district. Parking can be challenging and foot traffic can be quite busy.
Bob T — Google review
The young lady working was very friendly and helpful. I tried the banana pudding and it was like spot on. I decided to mix it with the cinnamon roll. Best decision ever!! The cinnamon roll tastes just like it would be baked, frosting and all. Definitely a good choice for a sweet treat if in the area.
Amber H — Google review
Delicious flavors with a welcoming store front and representative for the business! My daughter tried a combo of vanilla and raspberry sherbet which were equally delicious and wonderfully paired together! I was suggested to try the banana pudding and was not led astray! The banana pudding reminded me INSTANTLY of my favorite childhood cake from Entenmann's - hurry before it's removed from their summer menu but don't forget to also try their chocolate brownie gelato as well! No matter what you choose, you'll find the gelato at Honeysuckle is a great treat for the whole family at a very reasonable price! Will be keeping this spot on our radar!

Its the best gelato I've ever had. They have vegan options which is great for me because my dietary restrictions. Their vegan gelato is better any ice cream ive ever had. Creamy, smooth, and sweeth and eclipses all the things I miss about diary ice cream. Lactose intolerance is a b. Would buy this franchise if I had the opportunity. They also make a decent cup of coffee!

Beyond and above. It's an ice cream cake. My daughter was so happy to see this cake. It looks amazing. I want to say many thanks to the owner Brian. He was so responsive and heard all my asks and wishes. I don't think anything can be better than this cake. And the price is nothing. I don't know how it is even possible to make such cake for this money. If you are looking for excellent cake that makes a great surprise come to Menchie's. By the way ice cream is so tasty here if you like frozen yogurt. And staff is very helpful and nice.

One star because the counter girl was really nice, but I went in and went to get a quart from the freezer which is $6.99. I noticed that a lot of the flavors were seasonal like eggnog and pumpkin, but there was a marshmallow in the back and I grabbed it and took it up to the counter. When I got to the counter, I noticed the date was February on the marshmallow froyo. So I asked the girl at the counter: Is this OK because, it was two days from June 1 making this about 4 months old. And she said :truthfully, they sit in there a long time I would suggest just getting it out of the machine and avoiding anything in the freezer, so I did. I got two flavors and didn’t even come close to filling up my bowl and it was $11. That’s a quarter of the size of the quart which was only $7. And I didn’t get any toppings whatsoever so I will never go back here. If my choice is Highway robbery or 4 month old froyo , I’ll take nothing.

This place needs better management. It seems as though it’s ran by teenagers. I came here with someone and immediately had a teenager that was friends with the workers come up to my friend and I say “give me money give me money” with the tip jar and then ran back to his friend and laughed. The floors were sticky, trash was full it’s was not clean. There was about 4-5 kids just hanging out with the two girls that were working, going behind the counter, cursing, one of the boys called someone “retarded”, they were yelling the entire time and it was overall a horrible experience. I’ve been here a couple times and it’s been like this but this was by far the worst. The two girls working were kind, but this place needs an adult, and actual management.

I ordered a custom froyo cake on Friday. The nice girl on the phone took my order down and said it would be ready by Monday afternoon. I called ahead before I arrived and was told that there wasn’t a cake with my name. The employee tried to reach his boss but never got an answer. I arrived to find that the only cake they had did not have any custom writing on it. Luckily, the employee (Martin) agreed to sell me the cake that they had. It was the same flavor that I ordered just without the custom writing. Very disappointed that they dropped the ball with my order. I usually come here with my kids to get their soft serve froyo but I don’t recommend relying on their cake orders.

Mon Macaron is a delightful gem in Raleigh, celebrated for its authentic and gluten-free macarons that boast an array of unique flavors crafted from high-quality ingredients. The charming café atmosphere invites you to relax while savoring treats like the standout raspberry white chocolate macaron, alongside other tempting options such as cotton candy and s'mores.
Love these gluten-free macarons! Their flavors change up weekly and seasonally. Make sure to snag the Mac Attack 50 Mac Challenge to try them all over time. Options to enjoy hot beverages and cold specialty drinks while you look through the other Mon Macaron merch or chat with the friendly owners and staff.

I wished that the macaroons looked as perfect as in person as on their website. Upon store entry, the macaroons looked terrible and uneven...not presentable. The quality of taste is quite different as well as other macaroon I've tried. I wished the packaging and presentation were better. I will not return. $16 wasted for 6. Only tried 2.
Candace F — Google review
I wasn't particularly a big fan of macarons, but these have completely changed my perspective. I find myself returning time and again, as they are undoubtedly some of the best I've tasted. What sets these macarons apart is their flavor, which is often missing in others. I highly recommend giving them a try!

Very cute cafe space! The 3 macaron flavors I tried were all great but the raspberry white chocolate was my favorite! I will be back to try other flavors soon!

Both coffee-based/caffeined ones but also teas and fun specialty drinks like the one I got, “Life’s a party”, blueberry lemonade that comes with a piece of rock candy!
